Plum and Raspberry Sorbet

This is super refreshing, sweet and easy to make. I love the Cuisinart ice cream and sorbet maker. If you don’t have one, don’t worry, see the technique below because it works very well and creates a smooth texture. I have one especially for Passover and cannot keep any flavor in the freezer for too long. The kids eat it all day and night.

Recipe type: Dessert

Serves: 6

Ingredients

1 cup sugar

½ cup water

¼ cup Cabernet Sauvignon or red wine

1 ½ pounds red or purple plums, (or a combination), pitted and sliced

2 ½ cups frozen raspberries or strawberries

¼ teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and wine. Simmer over low heat, until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature.

In a food processor, combine the plums and raspberries; process until smooth. Strain the puree through a sieve into a large bowl. Use the back of a wooden spoon to press on the solids, extracting as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.

Stir in the sugar syrup and lemon juice until well blended.

Chill thoroughly; then pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s directions. Or transfer the mixture to a 9-inch square baking pan, cover, and freeze until solid. Up to 2 hours before serving, remove from the freezer, let soften slightly, and cut into chunks with a blunt table knife. Transfer to a food processor and process until smooth and almost doubled in volume. Serve immediately or transfer to a plastic container, seal tightly, and return to the freezer until serving time.
